The Things That Only I Know

The snow that fell on a sunday afternoon,
The laughing (like a song) cutting through your room,
lying dead, falling slow.

In the front yard, i wrote some promises and words,
I professed my knowledge for the absence of birds,
and it was quiet as my writings sank in the snow.

But by and by i heard my name
and the things that i just couldn't say
the things that only i know.


Some hot chocolate and bad cinema
your window views the boulevard
where a fire hydrant marks the spot

exchanging whispers to myself
the nervous ticks all day i felt
"playing with the hand that fate has delt."
The dreams you had...... maybe not.

But by and by i heard my name
and the things that i just couldn't say
the things that only i know.

To them i'm just the enemy
to us it was a battery
the power behind the light in our hands

the frozen breaths melting in my mouth
my hands hanging to the south
no room left for doubt
shooting stars are in high demand

But by and by i heard my name
and the things that i just couldn't say
the things that only i know.

Primavera

Stars seem more distant now.
Wonder why you never noticed.
I was so controlled by the tide
and the clicks and clanks on the dock.
I wonder how you never noticed.
How the leaves on the trees
seemed to whisper in the breeze, "tomorrow"
How their breaths seemed to skim across the lake,
singing songs about us,
the kind of songs that only water knows about,
still amazes me how you never noticed.
How the breeze left your hair just right
before everything was dead silent
and only the sounds of night were allowed.
Why aren't you noticing?
How the moon illuminates your soft skin of porcelain,
How it echoes in your eyes,
How it rests on the wake of this restless primavera
and rolls towards us.

You look at me, and the fact that i experience this,
this true nights romance,
trying the footprints to imprint and resonate in your mind...
goes unnoticed,
makes me last another day.
Just so i can prove something to you.

Like That.

You were sleeping than...
winter was over
and the sun peeked through your window
resting its light on your face
i envied each ray,
it's graceful touch sliding across your skin

even though this room was closed
a birds chirp echoed through the stillness
my silence kept you sleeping

I watched you breath
inhale
exhale
and soon our breaths joined

I felt our heartbeats. The Same.
the rythm.
the rising tension
the quick release.
the building suspense.
the relief.

Than softly, sweetly...
movement.
A Yawn.
Breath Sperates.
Hearts Race.
Don't wake!

But calmly you bury you head in my shoulder.
Breathing becomes one.
and pulses interwind.
A pain lingers in my chest, a kind that doesn't hurt.
I can't understand it.
But
Keep me guessing

Just
Like
That.

Still

Yes.
You wanted to know if i was real,
or maybe it was someone else
from the vague discriptions displayed in your letter
I can tell that you will never even find real in yourself.
Whether it was about me or not
the skies opinion should never matter
The clouds whisper can never defeat the determination of heart.
The rain that night can forever leave my memory!
But you chose to run barefoot
to sink in the grass
leave these footprints on my mind.
Run you fingers through the mud.
Just so YOU could feel something.
...don't ask me if i'm real
As if you couldn't tell by the dirt beneath your fingertips.
An illusion.
As soon as the blisters healed you forgot everything.
A disease you passed to me.
An infection to the brain.
Killing all my willingness to give a damn!
Staring at the stars we must have known
that this "train wreck" in the distance
was us.
but who knows, maybe one day the wind will meet your back.

Goodbye To You My Friend

I'll say goodbye to you and me
but only if this memory
stays in side my mind forever

of all the things that we have done
and all the things we've over come
theirs not a day i won't remember

cause if you must go
i won't try to change you mind
i think you already know
what you'll leave behind
i hope we'll meet again someday
but there's something i gotta say
before you are on your way....


i could not have done this without you
to tell me where i was goin wrong
i could not have done this without you
to be all the words to our song
I don't know where i'll be going
or even if i'll meet you at the end
but i just wanted to say before you go away
goodbye to you my friend

Desiree

I can't believe you're leaving here
and i can't close my eyes no more
you were the music throughout these years
and i just can't write you any more

but when i close my arms
there's something i can feel
without you it's still real
and when i wake alone this way
i know you would have loved a day like today
Desiree

you didn't pack, you left these behind
a t-shirt and some cigerette's
a photgraph of where you went
when you said goobye
i never knew exactly what you meant

and than i closed my eyes
there was something i could feel
the pain was just to real
and when i woke this way
i wondered why it had to be today
Desiree

and even if there is no god
i know you're watching over my life you see
i promised to give you everything i've got
i swear i can feel you in every part of me

but when i close my arms
there's something i can feel
without you it's still real
and when i wake alone this way
i know you would have loved a day like today
i'll follow you across sky someday
Desiree
